Time Played
This chart displays the number of hours played in HROT, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. It also shows the reviews during Early Access. The time in game is not bad at all, with 15 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 3.5 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 142 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by HROT and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
